The Kidlit Summit was full of useful information and answered so many questions I had. The speakers gave real-life experiences and opened my eyes to all the various ways you can publish a book. Without the summit, I would have been frustrated and completely lost! I am so thankful I found someone who has been through the process and has answers to my questions. Thank you.
